OUR PROGRAM
Our program is pretty simple. Rather
than sending your empty cartridges and used cell phones to the landfill or
back to your supplier or the manufacturer,
save them in a centralized location. Communicate the program to everyone in
your organization via email or a newsletter. Ask everyone to send empties
and cell phones to
the proper location rather than discarding them or sending them back to the
manufacturer or supplier. Also, encourage them to bring their empties and
cell phones from home.
GETTING ITEMS
TO US
In the local area, we are glad to
pick up quantities of ten or more items (a combination of printer cartridges
and/or used cell phones). We set up most of our larger donors (usually community-minded
businesses) on
a
recurring
pickup
schedule
(weekly,
bi-weekly, monthly, etc). However, we can also pick up on an on-call basis.
Click here to sign up or give
us a call if you have any questions.
If it would take you too long to collect ten or more items, you should utilize our prepaid mailer program. We are presently finalizing our prepaid mailer program and should have it up and running soon. Please check back to our web site later or send us an email and we will make sure you are one of the first to know when it is in place.
